Once your doctor allows you back on solid food you can.

My surgeon gave all of his patients an entire manual to take you through every stage of the bandster diet from pre op through weight maintenance.

He advised waiting until reaching 3 months post op to begin having dark leafy raw veggies. I followed his recommendations, and have never experienced any negative effects from having a very small salad using romaine lettuce most days of the week.

As always though, when you have questions, it's best to begin with finding the answers through your surgeon.

Everyone is different, but I still cannot eat salads, they are too hard for me to digest. Salads and bread are two things that I absolutely cannot handle. But like I said everyone is different... hope you will be able to handle them!
